Spirit Of Wedza was in winning form at Wolverhampton earlier this year and again at Hamilton in May though he's never won from a mark this high. Jacob's Pillow went up 3lb for landing a Class 6 handicap at Beverley but again ran well in this grade over the track and trip when chasing home ORIENTAL SPLENDOUR. The latter disappointed when favourite at Ripon but won this a year ago and can get back to winning ways. The three-year-old Boundsy ran well enough at Redcar to be considered while Mininggold's yard is in top form and she's won from this mark in the past. Any further rain would suit Market Choice, who won a better handicap than this at Thirsk in September on soft ground.
